() Concubine Jing's birthday banquet is as simple and simple as in previous years, but in order to cater to Concubine Jing's preferences, the queen ingeniously made the layout of the entire banquet hall all blue, although chic, but it is a little tiring to watch for a long time.

Qiu Lubin withdrew his somewhat tired gaze, and inadvertently glanced at the beads holding a rectangular box, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously grinned.

Li'er, it belongs to you, and my sister will help you fight for it.

The concubines with lower subdivisions in the palace had already sat upright, and when they saw Qiu Luhui coming, they got up and saluted, and then obediently sat down to watch the birthday banquet program.

After about a stick of incense, the emperor, the queen and Concubine Jing came with steps, and Concubine Jing didn't have much time to come out on weekdays, so it was so dazzling among the three at the moment.

"The emperor, the queen, and the concubine are auspicious, and I wish the concubine Niangniang happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan."

"Flat!" Nanjian Chi waved his hand, and his whole body was full of the spirit of a king.

In the stands, the singer began to dance the national dance of the Great Zhou, because the banquet had just begun, everyone was still in high spirits, and when a few programs were over, everyone felt a little boring, but even so, at the end of a program, the ministers were still competing for applause from time to time.

"Today's concubine's birthday, what gifts have you prepared?" Taking advantage of the pause in the show, Nanjian Chi casually glanced at the people sitting under the stands, and asked in an extremely ordinary tone.

But everyone knows that everyone in the emperor's mouth only refers to a few princes and palace concubines who are close to the concubine, so the ministers have sat still.

Seeing that the emperor finally mentioned this topic, the queen hurriedly stood up, "The gift prepared by the concubine to the concubine is a blue brocade skirt woven by the brocade girl of the Jiangnan Weaving Workshop, I wish the concubine good health and permanent appearance." ”

As soon as the queen's words came out, everyone was stunned, who is the Jin Girl? The first person of silk weaving in the Great Zhou Dynasty, since she announced ten years ago that she would no longer weave brocade, countless people asked her to make clothing brocade in the past ten years, and she refused.

"I have a heart!" Concubine Jing just nodded slightly, and there was neither joy nor displeasure in her eyes.

The queen's originally confident face collapsed in an instant, didn't she say that she liked blue? Why don't you even look at it?

King Zhang glanced at the queen mockingly, got up and saluted the concubine, "Mother, the retainer knows that you like the shortbread in Kyoto's Sanlipu, so I specially went there to invite the master who has returned to my hometown, you can taste it." ”

King Chen's gift was really ordinary, but the concubine was very happy, and ate two shortbreads in front of everyone, which stunned those ministers.

King Chen didn't see joy or anger on his face, he just stood up and pulled the corners of his mouth slightly. "What Erchen prepared for the concubine is a Bauhinia orchid."

"Okay, I have a heart." is treated the same as the queen, but there is only one more word, and the nature is completely different.

"Everyone gave their own gifts, but Concubine Xian has not moved, is she going to be the finale?" The queen suddenly spoke and looked at Concubine Xian defiantly.

Qiu Lubin, since this palace can't get the love of the concubine, don't think about it.

Qiu Lu was blessed, and her lips opened slightly, "The concubine knows that the concubine has always liked blue, and the concubine's gift is indeed related to blue, but this gift is more chic, and you need to extinguish the candles in the audience." ”

"Oh, what kind of gift has to be extinguished in this palace, this palace is a little curious." Concubine Jing opened her mouth curiously.

Concubine Jing's mother's family, extremely rich, since she was a child, she has seen countless rare treasures, ordinary treasures are just self-inflicted, just like the queen, even if the best embroidery girl weaves brocade, but for the concubine is not important at all.

"Come on, put out all the lights." As soon as Concubine Jing's words fell, the entire banquet hall suddenly fell into darkness.

Fuzhu took out a night pearl from his arms and illuminated Qiu Lubin, Qiu Luhan slowly opened the box in his hand, and everyone followed the dim light, and saw that lying in the wooden box was just a tightly wrapped painting scroll, and the original curiosity was instantly reduced by half.

"Is this what Concubine Xian calls chic? It's just a painting. The queen spoke mockingly.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, you'll know later." Qiu Lubin smiled and glanced at Fuzhu, and Fuzhu put the night pearl in his hand into his arms, and this time, the banquet hall, which was still a little bright, fell into darkness completely.

Darkness is an important factor that breeds tension, and just as everyone was breathing, guessing what would happen next, Qiu Lubin slowly opened the entire painting scroll.

Suddenly, a faint blue light appeared on the painting scroll.

"Ahh I don't know who in the crowd gasped, but even then no one paid attention, because everyone's eyes were fixed on the content of the scroll.

The orchids everywhere are in full bloom very dazzling, each one is like a life, competing for beauty, the butterflies that have been ice blue, flying in the flowers, the lifelike appearance, as if the real in front of you.

"What a realistic painting, quickly present it to the main palace."

Fuzhu gently stroked the scroll and slowly sent it to the palace maid.

At this time, the palace people have already held the lamp, and after the lamp is turned on, the light of the orchid on the painting scroll has dissipated, as if it has never shined, but even so, the orchid that does not shine is also extremely beautiful, Concubine Jing took the scroll and looked at it carefully, and after she saw the orchid in the scroll, she suddenly spoke.

"Good, good, good, the painting is lifelike, and the most important thing is that this orchid is a crystal ice orchid that has been lost for nearly a hundred years. Bengong wanted to ask her personally if she had seen this Binglan. ”

"Concubine Niangniang, this painting is the sister of the concubine, and the current general's wife Qiu Moli made it when she was twelve years old."

As soon as Qiu Lubin's words fell, the hall resounded with the sound of gasping one after another.

"Isn't it? The General's Wife? ”

"Impossible, right?"

Many of them have seen Qiu Moli and the princess hug each other, and in the end, it was the general and the second prince of the Prime Minister's Mansion who stepped forward to divide the two, can such a fierce woman-like figure really make such a vivid painting?

"Sister Xian, don't you make up such a play because the general's wife and the princess are afraid that the princess will blame you, right?" The queen opened her mouth sourly, and there was complete distrust in her words.

"The queen can rest assured that the concubine dares to use her life as a guarantee, this must be done by the general's wife." Concubine Xian chuckled.

"Good, good, good, sure enough, the tiger father has no dog girl, the sentence is right, the virtuous concubine is smart and gentle, the younger sister is good at painting, and the Shangshu master gave birth to two good daughters! This palace is in a good mood today, and if you want any reward, just ask. ”

"Concubine Xie, but when it comes to rewards, the concubines have the courage to ask for a reward for the people of the General's Mansion."

"Okay, you say."

"What the concubine asked for the general's wife is the power to be in charge of the backyard of the general's mansion!"
